„If children are never exposed to risk, they will never be able to

cope with risk”

Children being exposed to risk is a controversial topic. Kids,especially

at small ages can easily put themselves in danger, and that is why
parents are always there for them. Still, many people agree with the
fact that children should learn on their own how to keep themselves
safe. While some people think youngsters should be watched at all
times, some disagree, saying children need to grow up independent.

Kids have always been hard to manage. From spilling every single
thing you give them, to falling and getting hurt very easily. This
tremendously worries every parent, and pushes them to, sometimes,
take drastic measures.Along the lines of watching their every move
and step, which ensures them that their child is always safe.
Something like this just showcases the love and worry a parent has
for its kid, and how heavyhearted they remain after something bad
has happened to them.

However, many parents use the othery way around. They find that
leaving their child unattended at some times, genuinely makes a big
change in their behaviour. Instead of calling mom and dad for every
problem that they encounter, this makes kids more self-reliant. For
example there has been a study showing that children growing up
like this are more mature in contrast of kids growing up under their
parents wings. They usually say they feel very thankful for the way
they were raised, beacause it made them greater adults.

All in all, every little one should be exposed to some kind of dangers,
just to show them how life is not consitently in their favour. In my
opinion, children growing up and still being treated as children is not
the way to make a strong kid, because as they say „No pain, no gain”
